Forensic Science - Final Project - Become and Expert

The assignment: Choose an aspect of forensic science, criminal justice or an (in)famous case and become an expert.

For an aspect of forensic science, consider topics that we didn't cover in class. (Look through our website to review what we have covered)

Suggested topics:

• Ranking of impressions/fibers
  • Make a copy of this template
• Forensic Entymology (insects)
• Forensic Odontology
• Autopsy
• Toxicology
• Arson/bombs
• Ballistics/firearms
• Forensic Psychology
• Case studies of famous crimes/criminals

Research it! Gather the details to gain a comprehensive understanding of your subject. Present your research in a paper, slideshow, or web page.

Tip - You may find it helpful to divide your paper into parts to focus on different aspects of your topic. For example: a paper about fire investigations could have one part about natural cased fires and another for arson.
